95 Resolute

"Sensei, I was thinking, and we should ask Miguel for help." Yuta suggested.

"I don't mind that." You shrugged.

Gojo shot you a glare, "I don't think that's necessary."

"He's as good as a special grade, we might need his support." The boy attempted to convince.

"No way." Gojo said flatly.

You rolled your eyes, "I agree. Can you contact him?"

"Well...we would have to ask him directly." Yuta rubbed the back of his neck. "It's a bit of an inconvenience but...I think it would be best if you and I went. He doesn't seem to mind you."

"What?! No way!" Gojo yelled, "No way, no way-!"

                            ~•~•~

"No way." The man scoffed. "Fight an opponent that may be able to beat Gojo Satoru and Y/n? Screw that. That's beyond the realm of monsters. How can you expect me to do something like that?" Miguel laughed in disbelief.

"That crazy monster is going to be all tuckered out from fighting them both. They'd only want you to lend a hand in finishing him off." Yuta spoke up.

"As if the state he'd reach would be something as cutesy as 'tuckered out'." He gestured.

"We expect the fallout of the mass merger between everyone in Japan and Tengen won't just stop at our borders." Yuta hinted.

"Even if a godzilla sized cursed spirt comes and gives its best to my homeland, that'd still be preferable to fighting Sukuna." Muguel went on. "Do you Japanese think high spirited black people will just survive anything? I'm gonna have to pass. I gotta look out for my brothers." He pointed, gaze turning toward you. "Regardless, Gojo should be here, head low, pleading himself. Aren't Japanese people supposed to be polite?"

"Shall I prostrate myself?" Yuta was quick to offer.

You laughed airily, "I agree, he should be here to do that. But since I'm here, what if I make sure to leave Sukuna in a state no greater than a flyhead?"

Miguel stared for a moment before turning to Yuta, "Let us talk for a sec, yeah?"

"Oh, sure." The boy bowed slightly before walking out.

Miguel made sure Yuta was out of earshot before continuing, "Why are you here if you don't plan on using our help?"

You hummed, internally impressed with his ability to read your lie. "The students feel the most safe the more people on our side. It's my responsibility that they feel good, as much as possible, going into this fight. Even if they don't step foot onto the battlefield. Besides, having some adults around couldn't hurt."

"And this doesn't have anything to do with you saving Nimiko and Nanako? Are you saying we owe you?" Larue questioned.

You shook your head, "Saving those girls was purely instinctive."

"Harsh." Miguel commented.

"I don't mean to say I wouldn't have done it given the choice. I probably would have." You sighed, looking up at the glass ceiling, greenery crawling over it. "You know, Suguru did ask me to take care of them if anything ever happened to him. The most I promised to do was lend a hand as long as they were curse users. Saving their lives filled that promise and more, right?" You didn't wait for a response, continuing on. "If Sukuna walks free from this, those girls won't last long, and neither will my students." You smiled slightly, "This is all just a manipulation tactic to get you to come though. I plan to be the last to face Sukuna should Satoru fail, no matter what it takes."
